7 Click New to set the tags from the drop-down menu.
The tags group the external services and you can view them in their corresponding groups when you
create a deployment blueprint for an application.
You can add multiple tags.
8 To create a tag that is not in the list, click Cancel, and select Library > Tags.
9 (Optional) In the Supported Components section, if only certain types of application component can
run in this advanced external service, click New to specify those components here.
For example, only SQL scripts can run in a database server. The components that you select restrict
what application components can be added to this advanced external service in an application
blueprint. Leave this field blank if you can add components to the advanced external service.
10 Designate an operating system for the external service.
a For the basic external service, select a Windows or Linux-based template from the drop-down
menu in the Logical Template section.
The supported OS associated to the logical template is populated.
b For the advanced external service, if the scripts used in the advanced external service can run
only on particular operating systems, click New to add those operating systems in the Supported
OSes section.
In the blueprint editor, Application Services prevents the external service from being added to a
template unless the template contains one of these operating systems. Leave this field blank if
the advanced external service can be used in any operating system.
11 To use an operating system name that is not in the list, click Cancel, and select Library > Operating
Systems to create an operating system name.
What to do next
Configure the external service version properties. See Define External Service Properties.
Define External Service Properties
Application Services passes defined properties as environment variables to scripts running in a virtual
machine. The external service version properties define the variables used in the scripts for the external
service.
When you deploy an application with a preconfigured or custom external service, you cannot edit the
property definitions or provider specification properties for that external service while the deployment is in
progress.
